Allow Authenticator autofill for use with enterprise work account in Edge browser

Question

Looking for a acceptable enterprise solution for users to store online passwords and would like to use built in Microsoft service than 3rd party tool like lastpass (for hopefully obvious reasons). I would like to use Authenticator autofill on windows 10 workstations running microsoft Edge browser. This seams to work but only with a Personal Microsoft account. We would like to be able to use our Microsoft Work accounts instead, I found referance to this here and it is in the online documentation here. However that online form does not exist anymore, has anyone done this and if so where can I find the documentation? Kind regards, Simon

Hello, Unfortunately, in you case the reason is not related to being or not a Microsoft Work or School account, but instead that Autofill is a feature only available for mobile devices running iOS or Android, and is not viable to be used in Windows 10. As per article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/common-questions-about-the-microsoft-authenticator-app-12d283d1-bcef-4875-9ae5-ac360e2945dd Q: What is Autofill with Authenticator? A: The Authenticator app now securely stores and auto-fills passwords on apps and websites you visit on your phone. You can use Autofill to sync and autofill your passwords on your iOS and Android devices. After setting up the Authenticator app as an autofill provider on your phone, it offers to save your passwords when you enter them on a site or in an app sign-in page. The passwords are saved as part of your personal Microsoft account and are also available when you sign in to Microsoft Edge with your personal Microsoft account. --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept as answer--
